Tho Templeton Company'S Perform
ance of the "Mikado"
The TempletoA Opera Company played
the "Mikado' at the Theatre last night. 1t
would be carrying Goals to Newcastle to
tell Savannah theatre-goers anything about
the "Mikado." 1t has been sung here so
much that almost every opera goer knows
it by heart. 1t was, with one or two
exceptions, well given last night.
The Templeton Company departs from
the ordinary Interpretation of the play, and
the performance is on the burleSque order
ALT Wheelan's ''Kokon isone of the best that
has been seen here. He kept the audience
in good humor from the beginning to the
end of the performance. The tenor, Mr..
Hartley, is the weak spot in the cast, and
during the remainder of the engagement
here his part will be taken by Mr. j. B.
Bradley. Miss Blanche Chapman is an old
favorite in Savannah, and she was roundly
applauded. Miss Vane, as ''Katisha," is a
charming actress.
Taken altogether, the company is a good
one. The members have way of present
ing opera that appears to be quite their
own 1t cannot be said that they sing the
operas at all, except in spots, but as to ex-
tracing the humor out of the text and
embellishing it with inpromptu comedy,
their equals have not been seen or heard at
the theatre in many long day. "Her-
mimic" will be given this afternoon, and to-
night "Girohe-Iiroflan

The Architect Eands in His Report,
but Gets no Money.
There was considerable interest manifested
yesterday in matters anent the new Jail. 1t
was understood that the architect, Mr.. Nc
Donald, had arrived and would submit his
report on the building as soon as he could
examine the work, and it was known that
the mechanical experts would also make
their examination during the day.
A meeting of the County Commissioners
had been called for 4 o'clock TO hear from
the architect and the experts. At the hour
named there was quite gathering in the
commissioners room, but the only member
of the board present was Col. Walker Com
missioner Casey sat outside of the court
room il his buggy, and Messrs. Lawton,
Dorset5 and Estll were conspicu-
GUS by their absence. The architect
handed his report to the clerk, who showed
it in q pigeon hole, and when Mr. Melon
aid suggested that he should have little
money (Sl00l to pay the expense of his trip,
he was informed, informally, that there
was a resolution on the books to pay no
more money on the jail account until the
building was done. The architect smiled
pleasantly and said that he guessed he
would leave for Louisville by the night
train and he left.
Finding that there was no prospect of a
meeting of the commissioners, those in at
tendance adjourned without further cere-

A Bargain in Every Purchase

Is the rule of the Famous" northeast cor

IN A HURRY TO MARRY.
A Savannah Couple Made Happy In
Charleston.


Thanksgiving was a happy day in many
ways for many people. 1t was very jolly
day for a young Savannah couple that went
over to Charleston on the morning train
unmarried and came back at night married.
The Ne,cs and Courier gives the following
account of the wedding:
The contracting parties were Mr.. w.
II. Shepherd and Miss Fannie Lake,
of Savannah. They came to Charles
ton for the sole purpose of getting
married. and they had the knot tied with
as little fuss and delay as possible, Both of
them arrived about II o'clock by the morn
ing train from Savannah. Mr.. Shepherd,
who is promising machinist of Savannah,
was accompanied by his sister, Mrs. f. s.
Shepherd, and Miss Lake by friend, Miss
f. T. Hardee The bride is a handsome,
stylish blonde, who has counted about II
summers, while the groom is about thirty
years of age, and both seemed to think and
feel that mundane life was not worth the
living unless they could share it with each
other. The reason for going to Charleston
was the necessary delay in securing a
license in Savannah for which the couple
were in too great haste to wait The party
were transferred from the depot to the Pa
vilion Hotel, where they took a carriage
and drove around the city. On their re-
Uuf0 10 une DOUel Une rev. IL. N. w els, pas
tor of Bethel Church, was in waiting, and
the marriage ceremony was Immediately
performed in the presence of Mr.. Z. Peck
and Capt. w. I. Blanchard, who acted as
witnesses. The newly married couple then
adjourned to the dining-room, and later in
the day returned to Savannah
The trip to Charleston was the result of
the sometimes annoying law that those who
wish to be joined in holy wedlock shall
first procure license. Mr.. Shepherd and
Mrs. Shepherd nee Lake, would have been
married in Savannah on Thursday but for
the refusal of Judge Ferrill to grant them a
license because the would-be bride was only
Is years of age. Mr.. Shepherd applied for
license and upon being asked if Miss Lake
was of age, he replied, after hesitating
that she was not. The Judge then
said that the written consent Of
the brides parents would have
to be given him before the license could be
obtained. Mr.. Shepherd asked if there was
no way to obtain the license without. that
consent, and Judge Ferrill told him no. He
left then, but returned again and repeated
his request, but the Judge told him that it
would be unlawful for him to issue the
license, and he would be liable on his bond
If he did issue it, and he declined to do so.
That was the last heard of the discounted
groom until the Net0s and Courier an
nounced their marriage in Charleston, where
licenses are not required.

CAPT. WILLIAM HUGHES DEAD.
A Brave Soldier and Honored CitiZer
Called to His Reward.


The many friends of Capt William
Hughes will learn with regret of his death,
which took place at his residence, near
Johnston's station, Liberty county, on
Thursday, after long illness from typhoid
malarial fever. The deceased was one of the
most prominent citizens of ''Old Liberty
Throughout long life he illustrated those
patriotic virtues which have ever been
characteristic of gentlemen of the old
regime. While not politician in the usual
sense of the word, Capt. Hughes was an
active member of the Democratic party,
and a leader in its councils At the time of
his death he was Captain of the Liberty
Guards which he commanded throughout
the late war. He was President of the CAL
tamaha River Improvement Association
an organization having for its object the
improvement of that river
In the war he commanded d Troop
liberty Guards) Fifth Georgia Cavalry
He was a most gallant soldier, always
ready for any duty assigned him, the first
in charge and the last to come out of it,
HIS old commander, Gen. r. H. Anderson,
under whom Capt. Hughes served, speaking
Of him yesterday, said that he was one of
the most transformations Of men, and one of
the best soldiers that ever drew a sabre In
civil life he was the same conscientious,
quiet gentleman, discharging every duty
with care and fidelity.
Capt. Hughes belonged to a well known
family. His venerable father, who died
only a few years ago at a very advanced
age, was for three quarters of a century a
most distinguished civil engineer and es-
teemed citizen Of this part of the State.
Capt. Hughes was about 90 years of age.
He was buried yesterday by the company
which he had commanded for thirty years.

TELEPHoNING FIRE ALARMS.
Failure to Call the Proper Number the
Cause OF Frequent DELAYS.

Failure to Call the Proper Numb Der the
Cause OF Frequent Delays.
One of the most serious causes of delay
in the firemen responding to telephone alarms
is the roundabout way in which people send
in the alarm. Instead of telephoning direct
to firemen's headquarters, No. 500, nearly
all the alarms are telephoned to police head
quarters, and there is delay sometimes of
several minutes, time enough for the fire.
men to reach the fire, before the alarm
reaches them at all. The police have
TO receive the message and after locating
the fire, they telephone the alarm to firemen's
headquarters, whereas If the alarm was
sent direct to headquarters, valuable time
would be saved. Chief Fernandez is hav-
ing prepared notices TO be placed upon every
telephone in the city, giving the number of
the fire telephone, and instructlng all alarms
TO be sent direct to No. 500, fremen's head
quarters.

THE CLERKSHIP FIGHT.
Plenty of Rumors but No Withdrawals
from the Race.


from the Race.
The contest for the clerkship of the Su-
perior Court is still an absorbing topic of
conversation among the friends of both can
didates In fact, it is getting so warm that
there has been some swearing and fighting
in several languages" Maj. Schwarz's
flag is still flying, but there are rumors that
he has said that he will not run. There is
nothing from the Major, however, to that
effect
There is not much interest taken in the
matter north of Broughton street, but there
is considerable anxiety TO know the cause
of the strong opposition that the Major
has developed among the Germans. He
has always been considered by outsiders as
the representative of that element in our
city politics, and has been honored as such.
He was even mentioned as their candidate
for Mayor at the next election. This Is the
first time he has ever run for office, except
those of Alderman and Major of the First
Regiment, and to be driven from the field
now would, it is thought by those who
study such matters, be disastrous to his
future political prospects.
Mr.. Carr has developed into an out-and-
out political canvasSer. He is paying his
respects personally to voters and asking
their support for the Office of clerk,
and the responses in most in
stances are said to be favorable. He has
a strong argument in his favor in the fact
that he has been deputy clerk so long, and
as this is an ''off year" for politicians, he
appears to have the winning hand, and I'M
less the Majors hackers and friends stir
themselves they will be astonished at the
result.
Dec. 90 has been set as the day of cleo
ton, and the next four weeks win be busy
ones for the candidates The beer saloons
are already feeling the impetus of the con
test, and business in that line will doubtless
show a continued improvement each day
until the night of the election.

Walker on Monday. He said nothing about
a reward, however, and although the law
requires that the lessees shall offer rewards

The United Synod is the most recent, as
it is also the smallest general body. In
fundamental doctrines and principles of
government, Lutherans everywhere observe
a substantial agreement, so that the various
synods form one ecclesiastical communion.
Difference of languages, with incidental
variations in local usages, with geographic
ical necessities, naturally demanded the
formation of several general bodies. Con
gregations, however, elect their pastors re-
gardless of synodical connections. The
historical Confession, delivered by the Pro-
testants at the Imperial Diet of Augsburg,
1870, is the recognized basis for all Luther
aaIs, as it is also the Magma Charta of Pro-
testant liberty for all Christendom.

With 1000, 900 adult communicates in one
American communion, having no rule for

governing power save the Holy Spirit-no

the only Chief Shepherd, allowing for pastor
and people a universal priesthood of all be-
levers, the progress of Evangelical Luther
anism in this country rightly commands no
small share Of public consideration. The

progress of the Lutheran Church third
among the various denominations.
The institutions of the communion are as
follows: Theological seminaries, 20; col
leges and academies, II; orphans homes,
hospitals, etc, As; periodicals, 147.
